What is an Epoxy Longboard?

So first of all... What is a resin skateboard or epoxy longboard?

Well... it is a skateboard which is usually made out of epoxy resin and some sort of wood. And if you are asking yourself "Does epoxy resin bond to wood?", then the answer is YES!!! Resin and wood are going to be the 2 main materials you will use to construct your epoxy longboard.

Materials You Will Need

The materials you will need for your resin skateboard will vary depending on what you already have on hand and what design you want for your longboard.

But here is a rough idea of what you might need:

Best epoxy for skateboards

As I mentioned previously, you need to use an epoxy, but make sure you use a casting epoxy that will turn rock hard like this one from Stone Coat Countertops.

In fact, this is the only brand of resin epoxy I use for ALL of my projects.

All of their resins are super easy to use, leave a crystal clear coat, have a long working time which allows you to get a perfect finish every time, are uv resistant, are great for beginners, and are perfect to take your projects to the next level.

You are also going to need to make a resin skateboard mold made out of melamine so your resin doesn't stick to it. You can get some melamine boards like these.

Tutorials- How to Make Your Own Resin Skateboard

Ok. Now that you have a rough idea of what materials you will need, which resin is best for wood longboards, and the materials you will need for your mold, let's get into the tutorials.

I added a few videos that show the process of making a wood and resin skateboard. Some go into the details a little bit more than others, but each video will help you learn what you need to know about making resin skateboards.

I liked this first video the most because it doesn't seem too complicated, even though it doesn't have a detailed explanation of how to make a resin skateboard. But if you'd like to see a quick overview video of the process, then you are going to like this video.

This next video shows the process in detail, but I think the longboard making process was over complicated a bit. However, since it has detailed instructions, it is worth watching! Then you can decide what steps to leave out to make the process easier for you!

It is a two-step video tutorial so make sure you watch both videos.
